Before Going out, a prayer is said
Ambarisa Prabhu, an unassuming and humble devotee, has been one of the steadiest leading book distributors in Moscow for many years. Every day before going on book distribution he recites the poem that Srila Prabhupada composed at Boston Pier, expressing feelings of helplessness and deep compassion for the fallen souls. Ambarish Prabhu tries to enter into that mood before going out to engage in Srila Prabhupada's mission. Several...
The Need of the Hour
Dear Devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

During his three-week stay in Mumbai, he inspired all the devotees with his steady and determined book distribution everyday.
